Installing/Extracting .sfx files
I am not sure what a .sfx file is. I am trying to use it to install fireburner. For what I gather it is a self extracting file. I can't figure out how to access it. Please Help! Thanks.

I've never seen an .sfx file before. I assume that you make sure that the executable permission is set and then just run it like any command. ' cd ' into the folder it's in and run ' chmod u+x ' and then ' ./<name_of_file_here> '.
